Have  a look at how National Marine Fisheries Service uses
YOUR tax dollars to THWART CONGRESSIONAL MANDATES.

 

The Jones Amendment was passed to STOP SPENDING MONEY ON CATCH SHARE PROGRAMS, also known as LIMITED ACCESS PRIVILEGE PROGRAMS.

The attached letter is NMFS lawyers saying that NMFS does not have to obey the law, because the lawyers claim the law is ‘worded incorrectly’.

 

This agency has GOT to be reminded, from the top down, that THEY ARE PUBLIC SERVANTS WHO WORK FOR CONGRESS! 

 

In the real world, if you ignore your boss, you GET FIRED.  In NMFS’ world, you just use your lawyers to bend, twist, fold and mutilate the actions of Congress, then go about your merry, well paid way.

This should be the basis for a FULL CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT HEARING. Congress should draft a ‘correctly worded’ letter of dismissal for Eric Schwaab, Jane Lubchenco and the attorneys who rendered this opinion.

 

Send this letter to your congressmen and state representatives.

 

I am mad as hell.  Anyone not outraged by this should QUIT FISHING, FOREVER.
